Withernsea is a traditional holiday resort
in Holderness, sporting a recently redesigned and
attractively rebuilt promenade. The famous lighthouse towers
above the houses, some 127 feet high, the home of the
Lighthouse Museum with its tribute to Kay Kendall. |
|
The Pier Towers on the promenade are the
last surviving part of the once proud 19th century pier. The
splendid beach provides plenty of enjoyment for all. |
| The Pavilion Leisure Centre boasts excellent
facilities, both wet and dry, with its superb
swimming pool, gym, sauna, sports hall and squash
courts. |

The habitual shoppers can benefit from the
excellent selection of shops in Queen Street and around the
town. The Withernsea Market provides the usual varied array
of stalls. |
| What seaside resort would be complete
without the amusement arcades and Withernsea is certainly no
let down. A good selection is available ranging from the
‘one armed bandits’ to the latest video game technology and
from bowling alleys to children’s adventure playgrounds. |

| Eating out provides many options as the
friendly pubs, restaurant cafes and takeaways spoil you for
choice. |

inland and coastal. Surrounding Withernsea are numerous
interesting villages in a patchwork of open countryside,
including the historic town of
Hedon,
Hornsea
with its excellent Freeport shopping complex and beautiful
mere, the famous Spurn Point with its bird sanctuary, and
the fascinating Fort Paull. |
